Posted in thread: Can I use priming sugar to boost alcohol content? on 10-02-2012 at 07:18 PMIs that increase in alcohol based on a SG reading or a lab test? It may be that the variables
affecting SG make very small changes difficult to measure accurately.It's based on a quick n

Posted in thread: Can I use priming sugar to boost alcohol content? on 10-02-2012 at 03:26 PMI also wondered this, so I calculated it for dextrose, using the molecular weights of dextrose
& ethanol, density of ethanol, and reaction equation (1 dextrose --> 2 ethanol + 2 CO2)A
simplified formu...

Posted in thread: Priming sugar and alcohol content on 10-02-2012 at 03:07 PMTo add a little nerdity to this...Assuming dextrose was used, and was completely
converted...Every 1 molecule is converted to 2 molecules of ethanol and 2 molecules of CO2.4 oz
of priming sugar into 5...
